Has any1 bought a heartbeat doppler/monitor?

Hi I was wondering if anyone has bought one? and how early they can detect heartbeat? I'm only 11 weeks so I've got a while but I've started to check them out on ebay and wondered if there was a particular brand that was good. Does anyone think that buying one may cause an unhealthy obsession? I mentioned it to O/H thinking he would be quite keen and he kinda of looked at me and you could tell from the way he was talking that he was thinking 'oh great shes gonna be there checking daily panicing if she can't find it' Has anyone found it has caused more anxiety than pleasure? :\? :\? :\?

I want one but think I would become obsessed can you imagine if baby is in a certain position and you couldn't hear the heartbeat I'd be PANIC!!. Faithlouise has one, and she's on here now... us early birds!

i bought one and could hear my baby at 10 weeks i think it was, havent used it lately im 35+ weeks now, but found it to be reassuring in early pregnancy, fantastic, got it off ebay at a right bargain, bf500 doppler, think i will put mne on ebay soon, well keep saying it lol deff worth having i would say, its great in them first few months when all you feel is sickness lol gives you a little something back!! xxx

Yeah Bristol I know what you mean I think I would s**t myself if I couldn't hear baby but I want one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Wow Carlielaine1 I didn't realise you could hear it that early I was thinking 14-16 weeks maybe. Was it called bf500?

Hello, I've just ordered one about 2 minutes ago. I am 19 weeks and beginning to panic that the little critter isn't moving enough to Tess1 recommended one from retail therapy it was ??47 inc delivery. The ones they sell on there you can hear the heartbeat from 12 weeks - well worth it x

i have a bf510 off e bay my partner got it at a bargin price it was on a buy it now and he e mailed the guy and said i will give you ??30 for it to include p&p which was ment to be around??7 and it was a brand new one i was really pleased with it!!it says it can be used from 12 weeks

Oh, they have gone up since i got mine, i just checked my delivery note & i paid ??34.99 + p&p. Clairebearfannyvaginacuntface they robbed you. But all for a good cause!!!!

Angel sounds fetal doppler has been a godsend if you are a worrier like me. When i first got it i was using it every night b4 i went bed for about a week but then decreased that to once a week, every sunday night!!! Now i hardly use it as baby kicks all the time (im 26+3/4, i think!!!). But i must admit, when i had my scare last week, i was soooooooooooo pleased i had it***

Hi, my husband bought me one for my Birthday, it's called Angel Doppler. It comes with headphones and I think u can hear the hearbeat from 12 weekd, don't quote me on that though. The first time I used it we had tears in our eyes! I'm 30 weeks now and can find the heartbeat first time. I think it was ??30 from ebay brand new.

I bought a monitor thing and it is shite! The baby kicks it and it doesn't pick it up and I have to hold my breathe for mine to work. I have only heard the heartbeat on it once. Mine is't a doppler it just magnifies the sounds inside. I got it from tesco for ??30. I think its called a prenatal listening system. Boots sell it too.

Hi guys that's it I'm definetly getting one, it's just a question of how much do I spend they can be pricey. Please don't judge me but I just looked up ultrasound machines on ebay but I think if I did start scanning myself daily that really could be seen as an unhealthy obsession!!!!!!!!Do ya thing?!?!?!?

HiMothercare has them for ??29.99 (i think you have to order them online) and also I found this website:http://www.hi-baby.co.uk/acatalog/Dopplers.htmlThey are a bit more expensive but you can also rent them. My Doctor thinks I am a mad woman to think of getting one but i am just about ready to buy one !!!HugsTraceyxxxx

Hiya, I was thinking or renting one and have had a couple of recommendations for http://www.hi-baby.co.uk too by friends. They charge ??16.95 for the basic which seems very good value so think I am going to go for it! x

I have hired one from www.dopplerhire.co.uk it costs ??15 a month and if you hire it for 5 (I think) months then you get to keep the machine. I have been using mine since I was around 11 weeks although for the first few days I'm sure I was listening to my own heartbeat lol
